During the Boston Busing Crisis of 1974, Alison faces a dilemma: on the one hand, she's not expected to think too much about what's going on around her. But as far as her biracial best friend is concerned, she's been thrown into having to think about busing. Especially since they'd both have to attempt to go to school surrounded by protests and objects flying through bus windows. During her confession in their diverse church, Alison wrestles with her guilt, and her ultimate determination to be a good friend even when it's not convenient.
